Bloomfield Bluegrass
США
Добавлен 18 авг 2022
Bloomfield Bluegrass makes it easy to learn bluegrass harmonies, which are usually learned orally, either from recordings or from others. We sing bluegrass classics part-by-part, so it's easy to learn each part and then sing together as a family or other ensemble. Singing three-part harmonies is lots of fun and is attainable for those with modest singing abilities. And the more you sing, the better you'll get.
Will Bloomfield has been playing bluegrass (banjo, guitar, and mandolin) for years with his Dad and siblings and is now thrilled that his own kids are interested in bluegrass. Dominic (14) has played 5 years of violin and is now learning bluegrass fiddle. Veronica (12) has played violin for four years and is just getting started on the mandolin. Henry (11) has played cello for four years. The kids enjoy singing but are still new to singing harmonies. But if they can sing these pieces, so can you!

Просмотров 1,1 тыс.6 месяцев назад
Will demonstrates the banjo backup concept of "filling the gaps," whereby a banjo player inserts a lick to fill the gap when a vocalist breathes or pauses between lyrics. Will also explains how to adjust one's dynamics so that the banjo doesn't drown out the singer. As an example, Will accompanies Dominic singing Your Love is Like a Flower in the Key of B.

Lonesome River Band's Long Gone - Two-Part Bluegrass Harmonies in TWO MINUTES
My eagle ears noticed at the end of the second line ("understand"), you and Veronica were both on a G. It may be a bit monotonous for her, but I would have kept her on a D to use all 3 notes of the chord. Either that or Dom could step up to the D and she could step down to the B. But there's probably a reason I'm no star music arranger!
thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Thenks for the instruction. It would be helpful if we could see your picking fingers too.
Good suggestion. I'll try to get the camera angle better next time. Also note that the tablature is linked in the video notes.
Splendid rendering of a difficult piece to get right. Well done everyone and a very happy Christmas to you all.
Thanks. Happy Advent and Merry Christmas.
If this is what kids are learning right now, we are in a good place
This is what my kids are learning. Alas, I strongly suspect that my kids are the exception, not the rule.
Love ur lesson. Please continue with other lessons. Backup would be wonderful
Thanks. I recently posted an up the neck backup lesson and am planning some more backup lessons.
Hi from Ireland.
It's like there's springs in Veronica's smile. It appears as soon as she finishes singing her part 😃
Do u have any written books or tab?
I don't. An excellent online resource for banjo instruction is Banjo Ben Clark. His website has some great banjo lessons that begin with at the beginning and progress incrementally for there.
Good stuff
Very nice. Learned a lot.
Wow Dom. C#'s. 15 much?
Good job folks, really cheered me up today. Thanks and bless the Lord!
This is good. Thank you.
Great simple video that shows how bluegrass harmony works! Love it!
Are any wind instruments used in this Bach music Concerto
Happy. Birthday. Steve. James said that to you
James. From. Day ton Ohio .
Love. It. James said that
Love it. James said that to your. Family
That. Is. Cool. That. You. Have. Your. Kids. Singing. With. You. James said that to you. Are. Your. Family.
Henry hit a low C. Are you sure he's not 25?
I can't figure out what's happening near the beginning. It looks like Will is helping Hank pluck his bass.
I've enjoyed your Harmony videos
I have never used a metronome in my life. Speaking to most musicians I know they are the same. I find it offputting. I have been singing and playing since I was a child. I am 73. If you have not got a natural sense of timing and rhythm you are in the wrong profession.
Bs. It helps a lot of people. Timing and rhythm can be practiced and developed
Great lesson that simplifies a complicated process. A simple tab would be very helpful.
free those kids
I can't get over Hank's low range. Watch out dad. He's gonna be the bass soon!
He has a great range. He can sing as high as Veronica and lower than Dominic. When his voice shifts, I expect he'll still be able to sing a strong tenor while also hitting some strong low notes.
Happy birthday to you happy birthday dear bestie
Love the outtakes. I think Veronica's about ready to start training a boyfriend. "Close the door and keep it quiet!"
Yeah dad, stop screwing it up
I know not everyone is JD Sumner, but that's a pretty creative bass line. It just doesn't make much sense to me.
Wow! I’m in almost total agreement! I’m putting Tony Rice and Dan Tyminski tied for first. Wayne Taylor 3rd
We just saw Dan Tyminski live at Blue Highway Fest. He hit it out of the park. Incredible singer. He's perfection on every song. Power. Pitch. Timing. Expression.
Beautiful xx
That's a good old song.
Nice job. Blood harmonies are the sweetest.
